A third break-in involving a thief or thieves barging or kicking their way into a front door was reported to police Wednesday in Ypsilanti.

Officers were called to a residence in the 500 block of Washtenaw Avenue at 2:24 a.m. after receiving a report of a home invasion, according to the Ypsilanti police crime summary.

The victim told officers that he came home to find his front door kicked in and that his television had been stolen.

The report comes just two days after two similar home invasions were reported in Ypsilanti.

The front doors were also used as a points of entry in break-ins at a residence in the 700 block of Green Road and a residence in the 1400 block of Gregory Monday. Miscellaneous property was stolen in each incident.
